Knowledge Unlatched (KU), the international initiative for Open Access (OA), and EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) have joined forces to support libraries worldwide in their move to OA. Through cooperation they will help publishers shift paywalled subscription journals to OA publications owing to the innovative Subscribe-to-Open (S2O) model in which libraries fund the publication of journal content to be made open worldwide.
Under the agreement, KU and EBSCO will service renewals for journals that will move to OA based on institutional funding. In 2019 the journal publisher Berghahn successfully moved its full list of Anthropology journals from a subscription model to full OA using the S2O-model and with the support of libraries worldwide. Similar initiatives from other publishers are currently in preparation.
